Hi Ye
you have 4 cores, so running more than that won't help (the others will just slow down). You might start running out of ram with more than 4 in any case, but I think 4 should fit (Nick can correct me if I'm wrong)

Dear Freesurfers, I am currently running 4 subjects, each on a separate x11 window. With 19 subjects at hand and subsequent manual editing, I can't resist the temptation to open more x11 terminals and to submit more jobs. However, how do I know that I max out the machine's computing power?

Thank you very much!
Sincerely, Ye
